Named one of the nation's 6 foodiest towns by Bon Appetit magazine... "Even McMinnville's pub fare is going local. Much of the menu at Golden Valley Brewery is filled with standard suburban specialties like fettuccini in cream sauce, but the burgers and steaks are from the brewery's own ranch, Angus Springs. Golden Valley is one of a small group of independent restaurants that raise their own cattle; the menu notes there are as few as a dozen such ranch-owning restaurants in the country. On a recent visit, a 10-ounce New York steak, topped with peppercorns and a creamy marsala sauce, was accompanied by a frighteningly giant steak knife and uninspired scoops of mashed potatoes and summer squash. But the meat -- medium-rare with a lightly charred crust and tender fat -- was superb." Bon Appetite Magazine
